Hungry midway through the day and don’t know what to eat? Try eating calcium-rich dairy foods, which can help boost weight loss, as long as you choose products that are low in calories and fat.

You could eat some low-fat cheese with your apple or drink a tall glass of icy cold milk. But if you’re looking for something sweet and creamy, yogurt is best. But if yogurt makes you yawn, it’s time to get creative.

Jazz up your snack by layering low-fat yogurt, granola and fresh (or frozen) berries into a glass and dig in. This guilt-free indulgence will satisfy your sweet tooth and cravings, and unlike an ice cream sundae, it won’t pack on the pounds.

When it comes to yogurt parfaits, the sky’s the limit. Experiment by layering different types of fruit, nuts and crunchy granola, or try a dessert of frozen yogurt layered with berries warmed on the stove, jam, nuts, and low-fat whipping cream. No matter how you like to layer it, parfaits make for a perfect snack, any time of day.
